   During the Testing phase of an infotainment system, a tester discovers a critical defect that requires a change to the system's architecture. According to the six generic phases and their interactions, what is the most appropriate course of action?

   • AReturn to the Architecture phase, update the design, and then re-implement and re-test
   • BFix the defect directly in the code and continue testing
   • CDocument the defect and defer the fix to the next system version
   • DIgnore the defect because the Testing phase is complete
